    sounds like too much turbo for normal driving. sometimes bigger isn't better.

    The issue is not the turbo. It should spool fine around 1300. Check for air leaks. I have a 171702 on a series 60 and it is a bit peaky, but it is acceptable. Don't go below 1200 in high range. Are we talking 900 Pyro normal driving or at the top of a hill? Mine rarely hits 950
